There is no evidence that Blastoise isn't based on a dinosaur either, beside it being a turtle
And if that argument works, so does the the fact Venusaur is a frog

Nothing about its naming or design references dinosaurs specifically.

I'd rather trust the localization team over a weeb on 4chan.

>Blastoise has teeth, turtles don't
Dinosaurs aren't the only animals with teeth.

>Venusaur having claws and teeth is literally your only argument for it being a dinosaur
Yeah, maybe if you ignore the fact that it literally has "dinosaur" as a part of its name

No. You watch the fucking gif. It’s the most recent entry and therefor the newest canon.

Confirmed by Sugi himself in a recent interview. The bulbasaur family is based on frogs.

Nowhere, but there's no evidence Bulbasaur is based on a cat while there is evidence it's based on a dinosaur.

Yeah and I guess Japanese doesn't count because Poppo has nothing to do with pigeons.

Yes, it is.

Poppo is named after pigeons, yet the design itself isn't based on a pigeon. Therefore, by your logic, Japanese doesn't count either.

So? The name is still based on the design.

Says who? Do you unironically think localization team works in a vacuum and don't work with the Japanese developers at all? Are you really retarded enough to think this?

These are 4 levels of stupidity for the American localisation team just to give "cool" names. A great adaptation from the Japanese Fushigibana is the French Florizarre: flore (flower) bizarre (weird/strange).
